Rissien exactly man, today, defensive football is called *negative* football. That's why Messi and Ronaldo look godlike, because this era's defender are not as good as back then.
BSN That's kinda probable, Don't You think that Baressi and Maldini are legend too? Maldini and Baressi would've been a much bigger wall for Messi and CR success, had they live at the same era. I'm not saying Messi and CR don't stand a chance against them, but those defenders were absolutely better than today's defenders. Cole? WTF, he's a bloody trash, he's not even a prominent player, let alone legend.
NoNEED2Mind and that was the rather old Nesta, not the prime age Nesta. I really wish Messy and CR lived at the same era as Maldini and Baressi, just to see how will they clash.
NoNEED2Mind the great Nesta did not silence Lionel Messi. Watch the game and you will see that Messi absolutely dominated not just Nesta and Milan defence, but he dominated the game. The great Nesta has praised Lionel Messi stating how unplayable he is. Such is the class and understanding Nesta has that Messi is Alien like and was untouchable when they met. Prime Nesta would have been better. Again, Watch the actual match between Milan and Barca. Messi was unstoppable, goals or no goals. Defending was more pure and physical in the days past. But don't watch videos and complain. Those who talk much about how soft this and that are and how good it was back then can't even put up with "today's"defenders in your little Sunday leagues.
yeah maldini the best defender had pace marking everything a defender needs and roy keane oh my god that guy is a godd for tackling the determination he shows is absolutely unstoppable you got too see puyol too
I have always loved the feel of attacking and even scoring goals but I know that deep down inside me I am a defender till I die. Love to see when defenders get love because sometimes we forget how important we really are.
90's - 2006 was the golden era of football. We had the opportunity to watch great striker that will fall & rise up when fouled, Midfielders with mesmerising skill & commitment and defenders that were actual defender cantenaccio style. Bring back the old football and loyalty era not capitalism football where money is all that matters over competition.
and 4 of them played for milan, that means something too but to be fair they are only a few of a bunch, scirea, vierchowod, bergomi, maldera and facchetti and many more were also fantastic deffenders
people think that defending is dead. It's not. what you see in this video is legends winning the ball successfully before having any physical impact with the player. I see a lot of this happening in current generation too. But I have to concede that playacting really makes it hard for defenders to play phsyically.
AtgreatR9 you said right sportsman ship is just vanishing freekicks for just a simple push is taken and most of them act as they got fracture in their bones
At the moment, South America does not have the best attackers _or_ defenders. A European country will win the next world cup. And Adolf, what's with all the random capital letters? Nonsensical grammar does not help convince anyone.
AtgreatR9 are you kidding me literally the best attackers are from south america such as falcao , suarez , cavani ,aguero,higuain , icardi and gabriel jesus and teams like chile , colombia ,brazil and argentin are playing world class football so they have a chance in competing for the world cup
2:48 If I'm not wrong this is Roberto Carlos (1,68 m) against Jan Koller (2,02 m). I read yesterday about this Czech player and this play with R. Carlos :D
Baresi right back !!!!!! >>>>Catenaccio recommended ..........................Baresi......................... Cannavaro........Nesta.............Maldini
Desafortunadamente yo no nací en la época dónde defensas como Cannavaro, Maldini, Puyol, Nesta y defensas que en tiempo atrás eran verdaderos guerreros, viendo vídeos de ellos, joder, que señores defensas, jugadores que tenían liderazgos, rudesa, etcétera.... Orgulloso de ser defensa y aprendo muchos de ellos.
There were warriors who believed that they have the power to defend everything. True men and leaders. They are the reason why the old school will always be the best for me)
Timing, speed of reaction and courageous decisiveness : I love the art of the defender every bit as much as the attacker. But the modern game is destroying this art. These could well be the last great defensive artists of our time. Sad
There are so many football videos with irrelevant background music, but, not this one.. melodious music to enhance artistic defending performance of players. Good choice of music bro... Thumbs up
Rio Ferdinand + Maldini + Edgar Davids + Puyol + R. Carlos + Javier Zanetti + Franz Beckenbauer + Desailly + Liliam Thuram + Sol Campbel + Ashley Cole + Gary Neville the list goes on!
In the era of Ronaldo vs Messi people have focused so much on who can score the most goals that they forget there are other positions and roles in the game. That’s why we have a current generation where most just focus on having the best attacking skills, which led to a lack of defensive talent in the modern time...
THE GOOD THING I STILL ENJOY THE OLD SCHOOL SOME GUYS LIKE J.ZANITI AND ROPERTO CARLOS AND SALGADO SERGIO RAMOS AND THE WONDERFUL DEFENDERS IN THE WORLD
I THINK THE OLD SCHOOL OF DEFENSE LEARN THE NEW ERA OF FOOTBALL HOW TO DEFENSE AGAINST THE BEST PLAYER'S EVER SOME LEGENDS STILL LEARN SOME. YOUNGER PLAYER'S IS A GOOD MESSAGE FOR THE HISTORY OF FOOTBALL 👍👍👍👍💗💗💗💗😊😊😊😊😊
Defending in soccer seemed to come natural to me. The thought is to not let that ball get in or get close to that goal at all costs. That's why I play good defense.
que lindo es ser defensor... entrar a la cancha con la convicción y la determinación de defender. con tu vida el arco propio, lástima que le dan mucha mas relevancia a los habilidosos y a los goleadores

When men were allowed to play. Those were amazing times.
I feel like defending was much more appreciated back then
Rissien exactly man, today, defensive football is called *negative* football.
That's why Messi and Ronaldo look godlike, because this era's defender are not as good as back then.
mate even if we had prime maldini, nesta, cole today messi and ronaldo will still called legends

Baresi + Maldini + Nesta = GOLD
Kun it equals world cup glory
Kun 3 GOLD*
And puyi
Kun more like diamond
Maldini + Baresi + Nesta + Cannavaro + Zambrotta + Chiellini = ORO
Romagnoli + Caldara + Rugani + Bastoni + Romagna = FUTURO
Missing this football..
Where money was just their salary not business..
That's real shit bro...this here is real football
italian defenders are best
True but now the Netherlands have the best back line
@The Exile King english are soft, italians were the strongest and the best
@@lucaorso5744 I’m sorry but despite the brilliance of Italian defenders they were the first to reach terminal velocity when spinning on the floor
Old school never die
Italian defenders are the best in the world, hands down!
damn.. maldini... i dont know that defense can be so beautiful to watch
yeah maldini the best defender had pace marking everything a defender needs and roy keane oh my god that guy is a godd for tackling the determination he shows is absolutely unstoppable you got too see puyol too
I have always loved the feel of attacking and even scoring goals but I know that deep down inside me I am a defender till I die. Love to see when defenders get love because sometimes we forget how important we really are.
this shit music got you soft son, go wash your face
A Darrate sorry dad
Jesus Salazar as Pablo Escobar said "defense is for real men

Well said
Nesta made both Messi and Ronaldo look like regular player
Nesta maldini baresi. >>>>>>stronger>>>>>>>> messi ronaldo
Franco "You Shall Not Pass!!!" Baresi
The best of all times
Legends!! I miss seeing this type of aggressive defending nowadays. Football has changed so much. Maldini my favorite of all time. Forza Milan!
Maldini + Nesta.
maldini + baresi
Baresi + Scirea
cafo+ nesta+ stam+ maldini Best defense
vidic + ferdinand
8 + 1
Paulo Maldini is a great defender that i have never seen,all my respect to that great hero.
Puyol was the heart of the team. He played each like it was his last time playing football. Without him football is poor..I miss him
Nesta, Maldini, Cannavaro, Baresi, Costacurta...5 Italians in this video.
This should mean something.
That Italy produced the best defenders ever.
Cristian Mariella yep also bonucci chiellini barzagli
Notaxmar 11 k
and 4 of them played for milan, that means something too
but to be fair they are only a few of a bunch, scirea, vierchowod, bergomi, maldera and facchetti and many more were also fantastic deffenders
Ministry of defense right there
Maldini is in almost every tackle , legend
World class compilation. Well done!
I really wish this video never ended. Such a masterful showing!!!
people think that defending is dead. It's not. what you see in this video is legends winning the ball successfully before having any physical impact with the player. I see a lot of this happening in current generation too. But I have to concede that playacting really makes it hard for defenders to play phsyically.
I'd like to see players punished for their diving. they are ruining the game. I think diving ought to be a red card offense.
AFFAN KHAN Neymar and Ronaldo will miss a match once in two weeks then
The title should have been "Art of Italian Defence".
Viktor Holmström Eldemar defence is all about Italy..
Viktor Holmström Eldemar Puyol?
When football was GREAT ✨
Today all of these tackles would be given freekick to the oppenent. Football died in this gay era
AtgreatR9 it was done to protect the players like Ronaldo 9 who could have shined longer if it weren't for his injuries
AtgreatR9 you said right sportsman ship is just vanishing freekicks for just a simple push is taken and most of them act as they got fracture in their bones
You are right. I love the term "gay era"... you nailed it.
At the moment, South America does not have the best attackers _or_ defenders. A European country will win the next world cup.
And Adolf, what's with all the random capital letters? Nonsensical grammar does not help convince anyone.
AtgreatR9 are you kidding me literally the best attackers are from south america such as falcao , suarez , cavani ,aguero,higuain , icardi and gabriel jesus and teams like chile , colombia ,brazil and argentin are playing world class football so they have a chance in competing for the world cup
the best thing in this video that they start the video with the best defender neeestaaa
2:48 If I'm not wrong this is Roberto Carlos (1,68 m) against Jan Koller (2,02 m). I read yesterday about this Czech player and this play with R. Carlos :D
---------------------------buffon
Baresi---- nesta --------Cannavaro-------maldini
Felipe Alvarez Veliz wow school italy Best defender and goalkeeper
Thats like: No goals today....
Hate that there is so much talent in that defense line that maldini has to play left, always loved him at centre!
Baresi right back !!!!!!
>>>>Catenaccio recommended
..........................Baresi.........................
Cannavaro........Nesta.............Maldini
Baresi at fullback, seriously?!
Thank u so much This video gave me the passion to ultimately decide to be a defender.
This has rekindled my defending attitude
Defense is not only tackle but intelligence and sense of position
Desafortunadamente yo no nací en la época dónde defensas como Cannavaro, Maldini, Puyol, Nesta y defensas que en tiempo atrás eran verdaderos guerreros, viendo vídeos de ellos, joder, que señores defensas, jugadores que tenían liderazgos, rudesa, etcétera.... Orgulloso de ser defensa y aprendo muchos de ellos.
the only thing that football could not give us is a Maldini vs Messi with both in the best years will be amazing to watch
So nice to see these fair tackles on some of the greatest to ever grace the beautiful game.
Maldini was a beast !
Maldini Nesta Cannavaro, Baresi, and Billy Costacurta per 1990/2000
et un peu aprés Dessailly, Thuram Puyol............
Striker's get you a win,Defender's titles-only truth...
Great defenders. Now a days it's all about scoring goals!!!
All the now days current strikers with colour full boots and hair wont even last second with this legends
There were warriors who believed that they have the power to defend everything. True men and leaders. They are the reason why the old school will always be the best for me)
That's what defending looks like brilliant
this is a real football
puyol the lion heart the true leader of barcelona you will never be missed forever in our hearts !
no doubt this was the best defending video i hve ever seen bro ultimate 🔥🔥🔥
todos aguantando como hombres. Nadie reclama. Que hermoso era ver fútbol.
Nesta, Maldini and Beckenbauer are the 3 best defenders ever, in my opinion.
I would go with baresi instead of nesta but good list
Timing, speed of reaction and courageous decisiveness : I love the art of the defender every bit as much as the attacker. But the modern game is destroying this art. These could well be the last great defensive artists of our time. Sad
True... football is dead sport, who on this movie cry for free kick? No one. I remember good times with costacurta, stam, vieira...
There are so many football videos with irrelevant background music, but, not this one.. melodious music to enhance artistic defending performance of players. Good choice of music bro... Thumbs up
i didn't want this video to end...
Art of Defence - Strikers getting schooled
Rio Ferdinand + Maldini + Edgar Davids + Puyol + R. Carlos + Javier Zanetti + Franz Beckenbauer + Desailly + Liliam Thuram + Sol Campbel + Ashley Cole + Gary Neville
the list goes on!
list without nesta is nothing :(
Maldini + Nesta = Great Wall
Maldini + baressi +beckanbowere +nesta +pyole +cannavaro = the goat of defense
maldini on left, nesta - baresi, puyol on right . no one can pass
I can't stop watching this. The legendary italian defence
I like the way how the Legends in this video doing their own style of sliding tackle
that was art ..
Someone send this to PSG and Arsenal, ASAP!
thegreatcalvinio fr
After watching this video I am so proud to play as an defender 😌
maldini and puyol is the best stronger defender ever !!!!
Refo Amburadul p
Naymar would die on the spot if he were to play with those amazing defenders.
In the era of Ronaldo vs Messi people have focused so much on who can score the most goals that they forget there are other positions and roles in the game. That’s why we have a current generation where most just focus on having the best attacking skills, which led to a lack of defensive talent in the modern time...
ramos boateng van dijk pique varane godin thiago silva all of them are good defenders not the level of the 80s and 90s defender but they still tough
THE GOOD THING I STILL ENJOY THE OLD SCHOOL SOME GUYS LIKE J.ZANITI AND ROPERTO CARLOS AND SALGADO SERGIO RAMOS AND THE WONDERFUL DEFENDERS IN THE WORLD
Baresi was the best I had the pleasure of watching.
perfect song
1:40 Nesta wow
Franz Beckenbauer,Franco Baresi,Tony Adams,Paolo Maldini,Carles Puyol,Alessandro Nesta,Fabio Cannavaro,Lilliam Thuram,etc. love it❤
Italy is famous for its defenders and pasta 🍝
ACMIL BEST DEFENDERS OF ALL
nice video keep doing old school stuff!
all of these tackle will get straight red card now
no they wouldn't
Lol wtf
No they won't most would go unclean because they were clean asf
john ed Especially in the Portuguese League
He meant poor diving by todays players
godin and Miranda was also a very good paired
Underrrated
Be honest and agree the many of you came to see this 2:02
Crixus DNA haha nope lol
someone really likes Puyol eh? :P Great video! Defenders are too often overlooked for their selfless commitment! Big up to defenders!
You should put some footage of Ledley King, he has some good saves!
Alot of these tackles would be straight red cards in today's football.
Defensas para siempre
Defender FOREVER
Days when defenders were warriors not gentlemans.
I THINK THE OLD SCHOOL OF DEFENSE LEARN THE NEW ERA OF FOOTBALL HOW TO DEFENSE AGAINST THE BEST PLAYER'S EVER SOME LEGENDS STILL LEARN SOME. YOUNGER PLAYER'S IS A GOOD MESSAGE FOR THE HISTORY OF FOOTBALL 👍👍👍👍💗💗💗💗😊😊😊😊😊
Puyol had four years reaching the end of his career where he was more superhero than man
Nice video 👍
Puyol's Chest save.... Commitment.
nowadays some of the Centre back,Full Back is More like a Striker
These were the players who made me love this game especially nesta my idol.
nowadays these would be cards or dives. want these times back
if CR and Leo play in that era,, they wouldn't get those balon d'Or for several times,!!
Samuel + Aldair + Zago = platinum memories.
I wish when i played that the fields would allow us to slide like this. Looks so fun
The defense is the best of the world passion etc😭😭😭
Carles Puyol, eterno capitán
the best defenders
Defending in soccer seemed to come natural to me. The thought is to not let that ball get in or get close to that goal at all costs. That's why I play good defense.
1:56 Nesta >>>>>>>> Messi
2:12 Nesta >>>>>>>> Ronaldo
Do we have this any more? I don't see any of this in today's Champions League.
Danyu Xu the game is too soft now
que lindo es ser defensor... entrar a la cancha con la convicción y la determinación de defender. con tu vida el arco propio, lástima que le dan mucha mas relevancia a los habilidosos y a los goleadores
porque es más difícil ser habilidoso y goleador puessss!!!!
Maldini+ Nesta + Canavaro
Italia’s school of defending 🇮🇹✨
Maldini and Nesta
La mejor defensa es la Italiana y nadie podría cuestionar eso
Italian ❤
this video is so dope
if you say thanks... i can say i like... keep working... old school rules...
GREAT VIDEO MEN!
